A Message from the NTCI Parents Mailing List: _______________________________________________
Dear Parents & Guardians, I wanted to alert you to some upcoming important dates and events. 1. I hope many of you will join us for a wonderful night of music and art at our annual Soda Pop Shop and "Best in Grade Competition" the evening of Friday, April 8th. Your son/daughter will have more information. 2. The third report card will be distributed to students on Tuesday, April 19. This is a change from our original calendar (April 14). Sorry for any inconvenience caused. A June examination schedule will be included in the package as well as program verification for next year's courses. Please review all of these documents carefully. Please don't hesitate to contact teachers, counsellors or administration if you have questions or concerns about your son/daughter's achievement or about these other documents. 3. A reminder that Friday, April 15 is a Professional Activity Day. This PA Day is new to our calendar and mandated by the province. Students will not attend school on this day. 4. NT observes Homophobia & Transphobia Awareness Week (April 11-14) and the "Day of Pink" on Wednesday, April 13. The Day of Pink is an "international initiative against Bullying, Discrimination, Homophobia, Transphobia, and Transmisogyny across the world". Please encourage your son/daughter to participate in the week's events. 5. NT celebrates Earth Week (April 18-22) with special events, assemblies and a "late start" on April 18 to encourage eco-friendly transportation to school. Please promote this with your child as well. 6. Your School (Parent) Council meets again on Wednesday, April 27 with a special workshop on Financial Literacy & Your Child. 7:30 p.m. Room 215. In a few weeks, students will start working on their year-end summative work in classes and then prepare for their June examinations. It is very important that students stay committed and focussed and plan on attending classes regularly and punctually. Grade 12 students in particular start to miss classes and we see their grades drop (in some cases dramatically). Each year a number of grade 12 students lose scholarships and post-secondary placements due to this. Please be vigilant and communicate with school staff if you have any concerns. Have a wonderful weekend. Joel Gorenkoff Principal _______________________________________________ Please do not reply to this e-mail.
